Use AI to improve your website: method, prompts and limitations

Many site owners arrive today with the same intuition: if AI can write, summarize and analyze, it must also be able to help improve a website. That's a good idea. A tool like ChatGPT can help take a step back on a home page, reformulate an offer, find FAQ questions, prepare a brief or identify inconsistencies in a text.

AI often gives many recommendations without knowing which matter most. It may find a page unclear, suggest ten titles, propose a FAQ and recommend SEO improvements. That does not mean you should apply everything in order or change a live WordPress website without checks.

The proper use is to use it to narrow the diagnostic review, better formulate problems, prepare leads, and then decide what deserves a useful correction.

What AI can really improve on a site

AI is useful when the problem is legible in the contents or apparent structure of a page. It can analyze a text, compare several versions, propose reformulations, simplify a promise, classify objections, or help structure a page more clearly.

In particular, it can help on five common topics:

• clarify the promise of a home page;
• make a service page more understandable;
• prepare titles, headlines and calls to action;
• find questions to add in a FAQ;
• Identify missing information to reassure a visitor.

These uses are interesting because they don't ask to touch the technique right away. You can copy the text of a page, ask for an analysis, and then reread the proposals with your knowledge of the profession.

What AI doesn't see when it looks at your site

AI can comment on what you provide. It does not automatically see the website's full condition. Even with the URL, its analysis is limited to what it can read or what you copy into the conversation.

It does not necessarily know:

• your Google Search Console data;
• your Matomo, Analytics or Conversions statistics;
• pages that actually receive traffic;
• keywords already positioned;
• the status of the backups;
• installed WordPress plugins;
• quality of hosting;
• server errors, logs, redirects or DNS problems;
• forms that no longer issue emails;
• the business or trade constraints of your business.

An AI recommendation can therefore be useful but incomplete. It may say 'your page lacks evidence' without knowing the form no longer works. It may suggest rewriting a page without knowing that it already receives search impressions worth preserving.

Prompt 1: Have a home page analyzed

To start, copy the text from your home page to the AI tool. If the page is long, keep at least the main title, introduction, important sections, buttons and contact content.

The important point is the last sentence: ask for an impact classification. Otherwise, AI may give you a flat list where to change a word, rewrite a title and review the entire structure seem to be of the same importance.

Prompt 2: Improve the SEO of an existing page

AI can help enrich a page, but it must not become a generic text machine. For an existing page, the objective is first to better respond to the search intent, not to add random paragraphs.

Before publishing a rewritten version, check that the page retains its professional accuracy. A useful page responds better, more clearly, with examples, limits and evidence.

Prompt 3: Find out why a page does not convert

If your site receives visits but few requests, the obstacle can come from trust, offer, form, lack of evidence, too vague a promise or a call to invisible action.

This prompt is useful for obtaining assumptions. But to confirm the problem, you have to look at the data: page views, clicks, submitted forms, route, mobile speed, traffic sources and input pages.

Prompt 4: Preparing a useful FAQ

A FAQ can help a visitor decide, especially if your activity requires trust. AI can help you list the likely questions, but you need to keep your hands on the answers and promises.

Read every answer. AI can invent a warranty, delay, price or condition that does not match your actual offer. A FAQ must reassure, not create a promise that you do not keep.

Prompt 5: preparing a brief for a web service provider

This is probably one of the best uses of AI. Many web requests are unclear: "my website doesn't work", "I want to improve it", "we need to redo the SEO". AI can help you turn this feeling into a clearer brief.

A clear brief saves time. It allows the service provider to know whether it is necessary to start with a diagnostic review, an audit, a WordPress correction, an optimization of content or a wider resumption.

How to prioritise AI recommendations

Getting ideas is easy. Prioritising matters more: AI can suggest twenty changes, some useful, others secondary, risky or irrelevant.

For each recommendation, ask four questions:

1. Can this correction increase confidence or contact?
2. Does it affect a page important for SEO?
3. Does it require a risky technical change?
4. Can I measure the effect after modification?

If a correction only touches the style of a paragraph, you can often test it easily. If it touches URLs, structure, WordPress theme, forms, redirects, scripts, cache or hosting, you have to be much more careful.

Special case: WordPress

If your site is under WordPress, AI can help you understand an error message, describe a symptom or prepare a request for help. It can also explain what an update, plugin, cache or redirect means.

On the other hand, do not copy the code generated by AI in your theme without backup. Do not edit the file functions.php to test. Do not disable all random plugins on a production site. Don't touch the DNS because an AI answer seems logical. And don't delete suspicious files without copying the current status.

If your WordPress site is slow, unstable, unmaintained or if you don't know where the backups are, start with a diagnostic review. AI can help formulate the problem, but the correction must remain methodical.

When AI is enough, when it is necessary to go further

AI is often enough to prepare, clarify and improve a first version. It is very useful to get out of a too vague page, find objections or write a brief.

It is no longer enough when the subject touches on the actual performance, the SEO of a page already positioned, forms, WordPress errors, security, redirections, a redesign or an important business decision.

In these cases, start by looking at the site: what works, what blocks, what can be corrected quickly and what deserves a more serious construction.

Where this topic joins other 2Cafés offers

While AI mainly highlights a problem of clarity, offer or conversion, the redesign or targeted optimization can be more useful than a simple text correction.

If it reveals a technical problem, slowness, form or WordPress tracking, the useful step can be a better structured maintenance or a one-time intervention.

Key takeaway

AI can help you look at your website with fresh eyes: formulate problems, test approaches, improve text, prepare questions and organise ideas. That is already useful.

But AI does not replace a technical, SEO and commercial assessment. It may not know what brings in enquiries, what already ranks, what could break WordPress or what needs preserving.

The right method is simple: use AI to get a first list of tracks, then sort it out before you act. A site in production does not change at random, even with a convincing response.
